SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,805, dated January 11,1887.

Application filed April 29, 1886. Serial No. 200,498. (No model.)

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ADOLPH WAssER-MAN, a citizen'ot' the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the reference being had to the drawings which accompany this specification and form part of the same.

In myinvention I heat the air used for combustion during its passage to the burner and prior to its admixture with the gas, and, combining this with various devices hereinafter set out, I am enabled to obtain perfect combustion.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an elevation of my improved gasburner on the line 00' w, and Fig. 2 represents a plan of my improved gas-burner in line y y.

Similar letters denote similar parts.

A represents the supply-pipe, which is connected with the supply-pipe of an ordinary bracket or chandelier.

B are four radial arms, along which the gas passes, each arm having openings 1), which open into the burner E.

D represents a diaphragm of metal, which rests above the openings 1), and which forces the gas to pass under and around this diaphragm before reaching the burner.

F represents a metal pipe or rod, upon which is attached a metallic core, preferably in the shape of an inverted cone. Surrounding this metallic core is a reflector, preferably in the shape of an inverted cone, made of glass, porcelain, or any incandescent material.

I is an air-deflector, which surrounds the burners, andvwhich is supported upon the radial arms B, the upper portion of said air-deflector having a conoidal shape commencing at the bottom of the burners and ending in a line with the top of said burners.

L represents a metallic gauze, which is placed under and surrounding the burners resting upon the deflector I, and which, if desired, may be retained inplace by lugs or projections, and which prevents a too rapid currentpf liot air reaching the burners, and ad mits only'a certain quantity to the outside of so the burners.

The burners E consist of anumber of tubes.

K represents an ordinary glass chimney, which is supported in place by springs placed upon the radial arms.

I can, if desired. dispense with the iron core G, in which case the reflector H acts as an absorber ofheat.

The operation is as follows: The gas enters through the pipe A and radial arms B, and thence through the orifices b through the regulators D, and thence into the burners E. The burning gas and products of combustion heat the metallic core G to a very high heat. This heated metallic core by conduction raises the 6 5 pipe or rod F and the metallic parts B to a very high heat. The air in passing up from below becomes highly heated before it reaches the point where it mixes with the gas, and I thus produce a perfect combustion.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In agas-burner, the combination, with the gas-supply pipe A, having the hollow radial 7 arms B, branches 1), burners E, and hollow upper portion, F, extending above said arms and forming a gasregenerating chamber below the burners, of the reflector H and the metal core G, connected with the upper part of said chamloer F, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In a gasburner, the combination,with the gas-supply pipe A, having the hollow radial arms B, branches 1), diaphragm D, burners E,

and hollow upper portion, F, extending above said arms and forming a gasregenerating chamber below the burners, of the reflector H and the metal core G, connected with the upper part of said chamber F, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

ADOLPH IVASSERMAN.
